Summary : Marriages contracted in France between 1976 and 1997 have been examined as a whole, especially according to the zodiacal longitudes of the Sun at the birth time of the spouses.http://www.aureas.org/rams/castille02us.pdf. Marriages between people having the same solar longitude (more or less 30°) are more numerous than predicted. In contrast, an analysis of lunar longitudes reveals no statistically significant correlation. Very strong interrelationships appear when the marriages are distributed according to the natal signs of Mercury or Venus for the spouses. A few years ago, a curious and candid book1 was published in Germany which gave rise to a heated debate. Written by Gunter Sachs, the book connects statistics and astrology according to the following principle : if it is true that the zodiac correlates with human behaviour, then one should be able to statistically detect traces of this relationship in vast populations. It was Gunter Sachs’ subsequent idea to approach the question in a more general way by using the huge files kept current by the civil service which might indirectly illustrate such behaviour. According to Gunter Sachs, the solar zodiac signs play an undeniable role in nuptial choices. The first step was to associate this population data with an astrological calendar to assign a solar sign to each of the spouses (see the method box, The zodiac, below). The astrological zodiac is a reference system that locates the Sun, the Moon and the solar system planets in space relative to the earth. The columns of the following table correspond to the solar zodiacal sign of the wife, the rows correspond to solar sign of the husband. Relying on ...

It is 1942 and Ye Xian is living in a time of great change and turmoil in China. She takes the nickname of CC, or Chinese Cinderella, as she identifies with this old Chinese story and this marks the beginning of her own journey, a journey of discovery and adventure. CC’s father and stepmother exist in a frame of mind that is a world apart from CC’s, though she does have her beloved Big Aunt as confidante; her life is difficult and strained. When CC is thrown out of her home after a series of confrontations with her stepmother, it is Grandma Wu and the Secret Dragon society to whom she must turn for support. The society becomes her surrogate family as CC grows to appreciate the belief systems and way of life this new family offers her. The society provides CC with the support and opportunities that she has previously been unable to find with her parents. With the support of Grandma Wu and the other orphaned members of the society, CC begins to grow in confidence and ability. This very personal story is set amidst the backdrop of great change within the world. The members of the Secret Dragon society are part of the resistance movement in China and vow to help when the Americans plan to bomb a number of Japanese cities. CC is a crucial member of the team and is integral to the society’s efforts in assisting the American raid and in subsequently rescuing those American soldiers who were captured during its execution. The picture and description of the ... It is rare to find an astrologer who only uses transits for purposes of prediction.http://www.astrologyinstitute.com/progressions_directions.pdf. To accompany transits, different astrologers rely on different predictive techniques, such as eclipses and solar returns. Those of us of a more traditional bent may add yearly profections. This essay gives a quick survey of important predictive devises that many astrologers use: progressions and directions. I will then slide back in time and we will examine the ancient origins of these techniques. The secondary motion is the motion counterclockwise, west to east, in the direction of the zodiac, which captures the movements of the planets at their own rates of speed. Mercury had moved quickly, passing his Sun and now well ahead of it in the zodiac. The Moon, moving roughly a degree a month, conforming to its daily movement of about thirteen degrees a day, had gone around the zodiac once and was now at the opposite sign from its natal position. . It turns out that the progressed angles move not according to the secondary motion through the zodiac but according to the primary -- diurnal -- motion. The simple answer is by noting how many degrees cross the Midheaven during the time it takes an area of the zodiac to rise -- to cross the line of the Ascendant. Compared to the steady movement of degrees over the Midheaven, the degrees of the Ascendant vary widely, based upon the location in the zodiac. They were less concerned with the ascensions of a continuous part of the zodiac but of the twelve individual signs or zoidia. Using this method, there is a great variety in the lengths of time to circumambulate different parts of the zodiac – this ...

Like a message in a bottle washing up on the sandy shores of consciousness… Dear friends, On May 1st, 2005, I will be closing my life in the Twin Cities, leaving Minnesota, and relocating to the Pacific Northwest, to a new home in Olympia, Washington. I love Minnesota and am sad to leave, but we follow our path as we can see it, and sometimes the path leads us to a different or even unimagined future. To my many dear friends and loyal clients in the Twin Cities area, I bid you all a fond adieu. I hope to return from time to time for happy visits. I will continue to be professionally available to my Minnesota clients, but by telephone rather than face-to-face. For purposes of this essay, the most relevant and striking feature of Pluto’s elliptical and uncentered orbit is that it does not move through the 12 signs of the zodiac at regular intervals. In the flat section of its orbit when passing closest to the Sun, Pluto appears to move through the zodiac much faster than at the extended “ends” of its orbit. Here’s the breakdown for Pluto’s current run through the zodiac, with the date of entry into each sign and the number of years required to pass through that sign: page 2 (of 5 total) 1822 Aries—29 1851 Taurus—31 1882 Gemini—30 1912 Cancer—25 1937 Leo—19 1956 Virgo—15 1971 Libra—12 1983 Scorpio—12 1995 Sagittarius—13 Every year, the Sun appears to move through the entire zodiac, going around your chart once. It traversed only 79° of the heavens during those years, less than three signs of the zodiac or one-quarter of the ... The theory, originally proposed by Franz Cumont, that Mithraism evolved from Persian Zoroastrianism, is now generally dismissed.http://www.thedyinggod.com/zoroastrian_gnosticism.pdf. However, the theory has not been carefully examined. A primitive version of the Mithraic mysteries certainly existed among them, as can be determined from circumstantial evidence, where they contributed heavily to the Greek traditions of Orphism, which not only later emerged as prominent themes in Mithraism, but of Hellenistic mysticism in general. While based on these earlier tradition, Mithraism nevertheless, modified during these times, to conform to these same Gnostic tendencies. The Magussaeans On all sides, the Persians were surrounded by nations that celebrated mysteries, by Egyptians to Isis and Osiris, the Syrians to Bel and Astarte, the Phrygians to Attis and Cybele, and the Greeks to Dionysus and Persephone. As these gods were merely considered national versions of the same gods, they would have been regarded among the Persians as the equivalent to Mithras and Anahita, to whom mysteries would undoubtedly have been dedicated by the heretical Magi. We do not know the content of these mysteries, but we can gather a fair idea of the doctrines of the “Magi” who inhabited Asia Minor from where they might have originated. Here, Zoroaster was confounded as the founder of the Chaldeans, a school of Babylonian astrologers. As Cumont and Bidez have pointed out, these “Magussaeans” practiced a heretical or Zurvanite form of Zoroastrianism combined with elements of Chaldean astrology. Daeva-Worship Though the Magi had continued the astrological traditions of the Chaldeans, they ... There are images of face and back game elements (tokens) surfaces for two sheets on 2, 3, 4, 5 pages, which are to be printed and paste together.http://www.dominoopen.64g.ru/mkven.pdf. 3) Cut out along dashed line back image edges trying to align this image with the outlined surface. Then paste back image to this surface. It is possible to use duplex printing. For this purpose your printer is to be tuned on using images on pages 2- 3 and pages 4-5. 4) Cut sheet images with scissors into separate game elements (tokens) along dashed lines located on these sheet images. The game board is divided into four images. These images may be connected with Scotch tape to receive a folded game board. Rules of the game and conjectural system of megaquadradominoes are presented in 10-17 pages. Megaquadradominoes (the mega square dominoes) is the big complete set of game elements quadradominoes (the square dominoes) in which is present 70 game elements with combinations of numbers from 0 up to 3. The small (basic) complete set of quadradominoes is included in the big complete set. Megaquadradominoes can not be proportionally focused in four directions as 70 do not share on 4 and consequently game elements of megaquadradominoes have no focusing arrows. Chiron and Proserpine are disputable planets as astrologists do not have common opinion about conformity of these planets and signs of the zodiac. Combinations of planets form the original astrological matrix which corresponds with astrological circle and signs of the zodiac, and accordingly squares of the game board symbolize days of solar year as the astrological circle corresponds with annual circle of the sun. In addition to ... If all that is said about the role of the planet Jupiter in scripting our life stories were to be provable, then it would appear that we waltz along our allotted times to the precise patterns set by Jupiter as it jives along star strewn paths.http://www.isar.net.yu/jupiterjive.pdf. Of the many canons associated with Jupiter commensurate with its placement in the zodiac, this paper considers for scrutiny and analysis the precept that deals with this planet’s role in the consequence of an individual’s heirarchical position among siblings, their numbers and their birth occurrences along the axis of time It is stated that if there are no celestials to the twelfth of Jupiter, then the individual will be the first born among siblings. Some due to our imperfect understanding of what the term ‘sibling’ signifies and some others because of the different ways that astrological rules are applied. Under a monogamous social pattern, ‘sibling’ would identify another individual (with reference to the individual in question) who is born of the same set of parents either before or after the individual in question. In such situations, can the entire set of individuals with at least one common parent construed to be siblings? Is the idea of being a sibling exclusively associated with either maternal or paternal bonds alone or both? On this note, it has been assumed for the purpose of this analysis that the word ‘siblings’ identifies only that set of individuals born to one set of parents. If either parent were to have issues from another association, such issues will not belong to the original set of siblings. It is not the purpose of this analysis to canvas for or against a ... May by your inspiration our souls learn to dance with the stars” Merry Meet my dear friends! This is the 12th issue of this column, and as you may have noticed twelve is a kind of special number in astrology.http://www.witchschool.com/dailyspell/pdfs/dsaug01.pdf. With this issue we can “close” the first six signs, and start looking into the next stage of our journey, and also, we begin to look at how the zodiac is represented in actual birth charts. The Natural Zodiac. In most of the articles of this column, I have talked of the zodiac, the signs, their relationships and qualities… This particular system is what most modern astrologers call “the natural zodiac” or the zodiac “at rest”. This is the most archetypal way in which we can interpret the zodiac... kind of like looking at the “ideal” placement of all the symbols. The natural zodiac combines the two important planes of correspondence. The ecliptic is defined by this movement, and it is represented by the circle of the zodiac wheel. Earth rotates a full turn every 24 hours, and so we can use the horizon (the point where the Earth limits with the sky) as a point of contact between the zodiac and our own “terrestrial” life. For now, it is only important for us to know that the natural zodiac places our two “zero points”, the beginning of Aries and the Ascendant, together. In the natural zodiac, the Ascendant is coincident with Aries, and the Midheaven is coincident with Capricorn. Our birth date, time and place define the exact position of all these points in our sky, and so when we interpret a particular birth chart, we are actually looking at how different this chart is from the “zero point” natural zodiac ... Astrologers draw conclusions about the directions of events in the world from the relationships of the outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto with each other and the parts of the zodiac they travel through.http://www.westernsiderealastrology.com/events/2005springPredictions.pdf. Mars is admitted to this group when it is retrograde and consequently slow in motion. The inner planets are too ephemeral, due to their speed, to produce lasting effects, although they often act as triggers. The positions of the planets are referenced here to the fixed sidereal zodiac that was standardized in the 1st millennium B.C. at Babylon. Jupiter, the most fortunate planet, is in Virgo through the spring and summer of this year. Jupiter is associated with expansion, success and profit at its best, and waste, snobbery and extravagance at its worst. Before the discovery of the outer planets (Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846 and Pluto in 1930), all five of the planets visible to the naked eye ruled two signs of the zodiac. Neptune was admitted to the astrological planetary lexicon immediately after its discovery, and after a few decades of observation, it became clear that Neptune was a better fit for Pisces than Jupiter. Still, Jupiter wasn’t given dominion over Pisces in the older scheme for fanciful reasons. Jupiter is an expansive, head-up quality bored by the minutia and limitations of mere facts and figures. The big picture orientation of Jupiter runs into a quality inimical to its essential nature in Virgo. Virgo is the most analytical and intellectual sign in the zodiac, but also the least inclined toward sentiment. It is a methodical, detail oriented quality that excels ... Because there’s a “good deal of in-terchangeability” of component parts on the Zodiac and Alarus models, Mathieu said all of the LSA models are built using Part 23 production processes.http://www.newplane.com/amd/amd/downloads/EAA_Article_Dec_2006.pdf.

In case I’ve never said it before, you great educators out there have my utmost admiration and respect.http://www.puhsd.k12.ca.us/pages/Janauary04LOL.pdf. Not to be overly optimistic or anything, but in general I’d say the outlook is pretty bright. Speaking of technology, some exciting things are evolving now that may start to impact education later this year or early next. On the server side, grid computing and clustering will make it easier and more affordable for schools to dramatically increase their computing power. Tablet PCs continue hold the most promise for education, but we’re still at least a year away from the inevitable price drops that will make Tablets a school necessity. School network administrators really need to know their way around a firewall to safeguard the interests of students. If you are among the few remaining teachers who have not done so, make a resolution this year to include online resources in your lesson agenda. If you can’t find a lesson on a topic you want to teach, send us your request and we’ll do our best to include it in an upcoming issue. Begin your analysis of “The Raven” by first visiting the Poetic Devices web page, created specifically for students in junior high school.

The Natural Zodiac The zodiac then must be seen as the human environment, the world of the Earth; the personality, the cultural inheritance, of the Earth.http://www.undiscoveredworldspress.com/ast/ast2.pdf. On the birth chart the zodiac is to be taken as a series of points of reference which serve to plot the positions of Sun, Moon and planets in relation to the orbital motion of the Earth. I have come to see the zodiac as a living, vibrating mantle of energy, a patchwork quilt of life forces, a force-field which surrounds the Earth and controls or constrains the lives of its inhabitants, plant, animal and human. From the point of view of spirit, in respect of the Earth, the zodiac must represent no less than the bounds of materiality. The line between symbolism and factuality becomes blurred when I say that the zodiac is indeed a spiritual matrix through which our planet must spin. From a rational point of view of course it is true that the zodiac is simply the Earth's orbit. But within this orbit, it is equally true to say, is contained all that is possible for all creatures on Earth, including humankind: within the zodiac is the potentiality for selfhood, and the possibility of that selfhood coming to completion. With this quality of materiality still in mind, the zodiac could be said to represent the substance of all life forms on Earth, and the familiar signs of the zodiac represent twelve distinct but basic types of life substance. Remember that the zodiac represents a cycle of degrees, beginning for convenience with the northern spring equinox. There is a far more subtle and diffused significance which can be attached to these four elements as they form part of the zodiac. All these ... | |
